Ci-G still didn't release any games - that's what we learned.

Well that depends how you define 'release' - because you fail to understand that CiG are doing what has never been done before. This means that the tired old paradigms of 'released', 'finished' or 'working' no longer apply, and dullards like you are unworthy of our messiah, The One and Only 'Crisco Robber', praise be the name of the one true developer.

So whereas other companies would have created a playable game, tested it and released it for people to buy (after 8 years and $250M), CIG have created an imagined framework, within which every possible form of gameplay can both exist, never happen and never ever have been imagined, and hence can allow people to gift their dreams (in the form of dollars) in praise of the imagined ultimate fidelity (and maybe the vibrant transcendental benediction of passing Thetans) of 'The Vision'.

Or......

He's a visionary!

I'm gonna do a multiplayer, sorta, strategy, online kinda game. And I'm gonna do a big interactive movie... game...

EDIT: Oh he talked about the further future too...

...production values and story-telling on that will have to be the same level as you see on TV and movies. That's one kind of game. The other major kind of game that I think will be in the future will be, multiplayer, interactive environments. And those games obviously can't have a story, because if you have say a hundred people playing a game, y'know, it's impossible to keep a story going. But what you do is create a world and a universe that has a set of rules, and say the players have a goal, to say conquer the world, or collect as much gold as possible, or shoot down as many planes as possible...

The 'games as interactive movies' thing really has been a monkey on his back since WC.

The Chris Roberts re-usable easy pitch(tm)

Make a game like a movie or perhaps a movie game
Make it like star wars and or top gun or something
There will be space in it.
Space is full of snow, sand and fir trees wot people like to see in space.

I will need some monies

its always incredible to see how other games are bashed and ridiculed on a constant basis because of high (but unfulfilled) expectations but when it comes to Star Citizen every past mistake, every broken promise, every disappointment is instantly forgiven and CIG given another chance, its like watching a kid or niece making its first steps and falling over but getting encouraged to keep trying, not a company that takes your money.

Choice-supportive bias - Wikipedia

wikipedia said:
Choice-supportive bias or post-purchase rationalization is the tendency to retroactively ascribe positive attributes to an option one has selected and/or to demote the forgone options. It is part of cognitive science, and is a distinct cognitive bias that occurs once a decision is made. For example, if a person chooses option A instead of option B, they are likely to ignore or downplay the faults of option A while amplifying or subscribing new negative faults to option B. Conversely, they are also likely to notice and amplify the advantages of option A and not notice or de-emphasize those of option B.

What is remembered about a decision can be as important as the decision itself, especially in determining how much regret or satisfaction one experiences. Research indicates that the process of making and remembering choices yields memories that tend to be distorted in predictable ways.

In cognitive science, one predictable way that memories of choice options are distorted is that positive aspects tend to be remembered as part of the chosen option, whether or not they originally were part of that option, and negative aspects tend to be remembered as part of rejected options. Once an action has been taken, the ways in which we evaluate the effectiveness of what we did may be biased. It is believed this may influence our future decision-making. These biases may be stored as memories, which are attributions that we make about our mental experiences based on their subjective qualities, our prior knowledge and beliefs, our motives and goals, and the social context. True and false memories arise by the same mechanism because when the brain processes and stores information, it cannot tell the difference where they came from.

A lot of money has been pledged by the Star Citizen whales, e.g. Concierge.
